Shepherd's instrument

Fujara is an instrument of shepherds. Purpose of fujara melody was to calm down the sheep flock and provide them with better graze.

Fujara – ‚the queen among folk instruments‘ – is an instrument which splendidly and baladicaly speaks about depths of human soul, joys, happiness, worries and griefs. Its sombre and murmuring voice, man inhaled poetry, can amazingly reveal the secluded inner places of human emotions and internally caress the spirit.

By its voice, fujara creates a wood choir, which in the beginning is a reverberation of our forests with gradually descending tones as if hopping along vast fields, meadows and pastures enriched of mountain stream splashes comes down from the hills to sit down as a tired plowman in front of his house and with deep murmuring tones praise the dawn and dim forest hum.
